1GH, glad to know I'm not the only one who raised an eyebrow there.

oh, that's brilliant. I have a set of four wooden folding chairs (probably nearly identical to those) that live inside a gate-leg table, and they could definitely use some softening up. seems lik...

I grew up in a sorta-no-shoes household in upstate New York, and the first thing you learn in the winter is that shoes *have* to come off as soon as you walk in the door unless you want to be soaki...

or if you don't produce a ton of food scraps (or can sacrifice the freezer space), you can just freeze them.

1 for the bed! that's beautiful.

I have a chicken/egg thing going on, I think. my workplace (of 3.5 years) has a very sleek, modern thing going on -- glossy white/stainless surfaces, boxy bright upholstered furniture -- which I t...

I realize this isn't the heart of the matter, but if the flag is hanging in a window, wouldn't it appear with the stars on the left from the POV of everyone except the two people staying in the room?

I am thoroughly in love with folding laundry and organizing -- I get to see what I own, and I love the feeling of everything-just-so when I'm done. (incidentally, liking laundry is also a great wa...

when you realize your tufted sofa has disappeared... it's me that stole it. I think I'm in love.

I've been dying to plant boxes for the ledges outside my windows, but I'm assuming (though I haven't asked my landlord yet) I wouldn't be able to drill into the building. do I need to worry about ...

I'm hopelessly in love with these stackable flat racks for drying heavy knits that will stretch out of shape when hung:

in the 90s, my parents would go to Michael's and buy what sounds like the same thing as American Frames' custom unassembled frames -- two sets of frame pieces that are screwed together (or maybe th...

I pick up books of matches when I travel and leave one on the back of the toilet. (I actually learned the match trick from my grandma as a way to deal with the particularly noxious "exhaust" from ...

this seems like the most obvious idea in the world now, but somehow I'd never considered it before! I'll definitely keep it in mind when I get bored of the (surprisingly tasteful) $5 crepe shower ...
